ITV is launching a brand-new true crime drama that recalls one of the biggest manhunts in modern Britain. Premiering on Sunday (April 16), The Hunt for Raoul Moat shines a light on the human tragedies that lay behind Britain’s biggest manhunt, told through the eyes of those who sought to bring a violent killer to justice.
The drama focuses on the innocent victims of Moat’s crimes, the police officers who put themselves in the firing line in their quest to apprehend him, and a local journalist who sought to tell Moat’s real story in a landscape of sensationalist reporting and social media provocation.
In July 2010, Moat, an ex-convict, went on the run after shooting three people in 24 hours. Despite Northumbria Police’s best efforts, he evaded them for over a week, threatening to kill police officers and members of the public.
